An Honest Look at Your Chimney
Local inspection pros, upfront pricing and a 100% satisfaction guarantee on every visit.
The hearth in front of the fireplace
The hearth extension protects the floor in front of the opening. Sections R1001.9 and R1001.10 of the Florida residential code size it at 16 inches deep in front of the opening and 8 inches beyond it on either side, and at 20 inches and 12 inches for any opening of 6 square feet or more.
Our specialists measure the hearth during the inspection and check it for cracks and loose pieces. If it falls short, you hear the options with prices in writing.
Signs of water inside and out
Water does plenty of damage to chimneys, so every inspection includes a search for it: stains beside the chimney, rust on the damper, white crust on the brick, damp ash and spalled faces near the top.
When our pros find water signs, they trace them to the likely entry point and explain what the repair involves before anything is priced. A controlled water test can be scheduled if the source is still unclear.
Getting ready for the visit
Let the fireplace cool completely, clear the hearth and the area in front of it, and make the attic hatch reachable if the chimney passes through the attic.
Tell us about pets, gates and anything you have noticed, such as stains, odors or noises. Our team brings the ladders and handles the roof, so you never need to climb. If the chimney has a history, such as earlier repairs, a past leak or notes from another inspector, have it handy.
Gas fireplaces vented through a chimney
A gas fireplace that vents through a masonry chimney still depends on a sound, clear flue and a working cap. Nests, debris and fallen tiles can block that path the same way they block a wood-burning flue.
The vent path and the chimney that carries it are part of the inspection. Service on the gas appliance itself is a separate visit, and we tell you if it needs one.
